The Collinsville Pirates won their fourth consecutive area championship, beating the Wheeler Mustangs 28-6 on Nov. 21.

The Pirates piled up 382 yards of total offense and smothered the Mustangs en route, punching their ticket to the regional semifinals for the fourth year in a row.

Collinsville received the opening kickoff and wasted no time at all, needing only four plays to find the end zone as Paxton Davidson raced untouched through the Wheeler defense for a 60-yard touchdown.
